Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has strongly criticized President Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of 37 death row inmates, calling it a subversion of the justice system. In a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Bondi argued that the commutations undermine the rule of law and betray victims’ families by diluting the punishment for heinous crimes. Bondi urged DOJ officials to challenge the commutations and collaborate with state prosecutors to reconsider pursuing the death penalty for these inmates. She contended that the decision weakened public confidence in the judicial process and ran contrary to efforts aimed at ensuring justice for the most egregious crimes. The move has sparked debate, with supporters arguing that the commutations are a necessary step toward reforming a flawed, biased system, while critics, including Bondi, assert that clemency should not override judicial determinations made over decades
